Andrew Stevens recalls, 'She was alone in Hollywood, barely 18 years [and] broke with no source of income. A photographer approached her, offering $5,000 to pose for Playboy, saying, ''It was a job, and I needed a job. I had a child to support... So I took the work.'' This highlights her desperation and determination as a young mother in an industry that often exploits.
In a striking moment, Andrew recounts, 'Hugh Hefner told her after the shoot he would only pay half. To earn the rest, she had to work as a hostess at his club. She told him to shove it, I will not.' This illustrates not only her struggle but also her refusal to be further exploited.
Discussing her subsequent career choices, Andrew noted, 'She called Hugh Hefner and said, ''I have this big Hollywood movie now... please don't publish the photos. I'll buy them back from you.'' This reflects her tenacity and desire to reclaim control over her image and career.
